Anyone recognise this old graveyard?

[Johnnie Murchison]

I recall a similar description of a disused graveyard off the beaten track which was the last resting place of many of the 'navvies' engaged in the setting up of the smelter works in Lochaber. Many of the men had no financial resources and lived a rough lifestyle and fatalities were common. BBC archives may still have documentary short on the subject.

I have been researching the deaths on the dams and tunnels of the Lochaber Water Power Scheme, I have over seventy names.  Not seen anything to suggest there is a missing graveyard.  There are 36 buried in Cille Choirill, most unmarked graves.  I have looked around the other graveyards in the area and not been able to spot any others.  There is a memorial in Kilmallie but I have not found anyone knows anything about it.  Quite a number were returned home for burial.

You could try and retrace your route on the maps.  PASTMAP give very large scale modern maps and you can over markers of records on Canmore and the Highland HER

Also you can look at the old OS maps which often show burial grounds that have disappeared.

The 25" map don't tend to cover outside the town but the 6" coverage is fairly complete and will show burial grounds.
